The Southern California Gundam Model Competition Year Three!

This past weekend was the 3rd annual Southern California Gundam Model Competition, held in Fullerton California. We drew a total of 171 attendees, of which 42 entered the competition with 76 models entered. Our attendance is up by at least 60 people, so we saw a decent jump in growth. Asking around, I believe that word about our event is starting to spread and folks are seeing the hard work we put into placing flyers all over Southern California. We’ve hammered down a good number of issues as lessons learned from the previous two years and from what I’ve heard and read so far from various sites, we did a fantastic job. Thanks to all the hard work and dedication from our loyal TGG Staff. We still have a few kinks that could use oiling and straightening out, but we’re definitely on the right track. There were some really amazing builds on the tables. Just below there is a 13 year old Shenlong, a completely revamped Taurus kit, a full scratch build for a 1/100 Xamel, and beautifully painted Patchwork Sazabi.

More after the jump!

Southern California Gundam Model Competition: T minus 30 hours or so…

It feels damn good be be so organized and prepared for this year’s SCGMC event. We spent a little more money than we did last year, but it is definitely money well spent on items that will see future use at many more SCGMC events to come. We’ve been generating some good publicity through the TGG Facebook page; posting up some last minute progress pictures of kits we’ve been working on, posting up pictures of an early collection of raffle prizes, and within the past several hours, posting up pictures of our trophies we have for this year.

Time to post up some of those pictures here too, check it out after the jump!

SCGMC #3 a little over a week away!

So yeah, SCGMC is coming up November 9. I know there are a few folks flying in from other states coming to this event. Yeah, we’re growing, and the Gunpla community is starting to recognize this as an event worthy of travel. This year, we’ve taken some serious looks at the previous two years and have been doing so much more to better the event. Our organization is so much more complete than previous years.

Corgi Beach Day 2013

Yesterday, we headed out to Huntington Dog Beach for one of the several beach day’s the group Corgi Nation hosts. Since we have three of the little monsters, we decided that we definitely needed to go. Terry is in Hawaii this week, so we dropped by his place and kidnapped Duke and brought him along. I forgot to bring my camera, but we have our phones.
